I also think this is Scratch's best lp post-Black Ark. From The Secret laboratory is more playful but a bit more light weight. This one however is heavy and dark. if you like mid 80's Dub Syndicate then this is for you.

It's one of few Perry albums I've never heard, but I might try it if comments are so favourable.

Though often disappointed with the post-Ark stuff, I think one track stands out as ranking with Scratch's best of any era - 'I Am A Madman' from that Battle of Armagideon/Millionnaire Liquidator thingy. Now if Time Boom etc. sounds anything like that...

I respect your opinion, but I must disagree quite vociferously. Time X is a major work. It is extremely heavy and dense which might turn some people off. It tackles important events of our times. A song like SDI comes to mind. But an earlier poster might have nailed it - If one isn't into the On-U sound than this LP won't work for you.

I much prefer 'From the Secret Laboratory' and would rank it among one of my all-time favourites. 'Time Boom X De Devil Dead' is definitely worth owning, although I don't really find it all that enjoyable listening!
